Bust of a Pugilist and detached fragments (2), A.D. 100-200. Additional Info: Broken off from a full-scale statue, the remaining upper portion of this figure represents a bearded man in a lunging active pose. The figure's thickened ears, heavy brow, and developed musculature suggest that he is probably a pugilist or boxer. The facial features and beard of the figure resemble those frequently used for depictions of Herakles, perhaps indicating that this was a statue of that hero in action.
